27 April Windsor Furnace Shelter

Fred picked us up at the hotel this morning and we went to breakfast.   Then he took us to the Post Office to mail our packages: bounce box 2 town stops down the trail, food to the next stop (Palmerton), and some gear back to Shana.  After that,  we said goodbyes and we walked across the street to the trail and headed NE.  He is really a great guy. 

The hike began along the stream but the trail quickly turned and climbed up 1000 feet.  Overall, a short day of about 7 miles.  Tomorrow we will do about 10 miles. 

The leaves are out much more noticeably than before.  This will help with the sunburn.

We are sharing the shelter with the "Vacationers".  They are a couple from Florida, a little older than me who have been section hiking once or twice a year since 1988.  They have completed 1900 miles of the AT.  We will likely be in same shelter with them again tomorrow.

It is supposed to be near freezing tonight in town so it is likely to be freezing here.
